It troubles me when I read things on social media like “white people shouldn’t…” or “black people shouldn’t…”
STOP and THINK. You are telling people what they should or should not do based on the color of their skin. It’s the most racist thing you can do.
What makes a person white or black?
Not genetics, I can tell you that much. Skin color is controlled by several different genes. Most of us are not “black or white” but somewhere in between. So, black or white is more of a cultural identity. If you are raised in a certain environment, if you share certain behaviors or beliefs, if you share a certain history, then you might identify with a certain culture, OR NOT. If you don’t, it’s because you don’t understand it.
Don’t make fun of other people’s culture or beliefs, because all you are really saying is that you are an ignorant git.
